< Episode 68 King Gyeongchin (2) >
‘under……’
The only reason he got stabbed in the eye despite the courtesy offer from the royal family and the king was because he talked too much?
King Gyeongchin was so absurd that he was momentarily at a loss for words.
But that was only for a moment.
I had a huge headache, including a stabbed eye.
“Ugh!”
“majesty!”
Ho Gong, the Taegam of Seochang, called him in a worried voice.
Lord Ho was very angry.
If it weren’t for King Gyeongchin, I would have wanted to kill that unholy robber right now.
If you don’t stay calm, Your Majesty could really lose your life.
Taegam Ho Gong suppressed his anger and spoke cautiously.
“Look. Please calm down. “If you please let me go, I will not only let you go safely, but I will also grant you anything you wish.”
“Anything you want?”
“exactly. “As long as you let Your Highness go safely.”
Mok Gyeong-un laughed and said at his words.
“iced coffee. “If I do that, I will be able to do anything for you.”
Would you say that?
“Of course!”
Taegam Ho Gong answered with strength in his voice.
Since he was King Gyeongchin’s right-hand man for a long time, he was willing to do anything for him.
At this, Mok Kyung-un raised the corner of his mouth and said.
“If you commit suicide, I will let you go.”
“what?”
At these words, Tae Gam Ho Gong’s expression hardened for an instant.
Since he was a human being, I thought he might ask for something beneficial in some way, but I never thought he would be told to end his life.
At this, Ho Gong, who had been suppressing his anger, could not hold back and raised his voice.
“Are you saying that right now?”
“what? “Are you sure you’re angry now?”
“what?”
“You said you would do anything for your Majesty, but did you really feel like your life was a waste?”
At those words, Tae Gam Ho Gong’s impression was distorted.
This clever guy was playing with himself by creating a dilemma.
This was clearly the work of a bastard.
If he dies, he will have nothing to worry about.
However, if he said that he could not die here, His Majesty King Gyeongchin might have doubts about his loyalty.
It was literally a dilemma that I couldn’t do anything about.
At that time, King Gyeongchin, who was suffering while holding his pierced eye, opened his mouth.
“Ugh….ho public. “Don’t fall for this guy’s tricks just because you care about your luggage.”
“majesty!”
“I don’t doubt your loyalty because of this.”
Hearing King Gyeongchin’s words like this, Mok Gyeong-un sighed and said with a smile.
“You may talk a lot, but you are good at judging situations.”
“Haa…haa…I guess the reason you asked Gong Ho to end his life was because you couldn’t easily subdue him.”
“Well, it’s not wrong.”
Taegam Ho Gong was not someone who could be killed in an instant.
Therefore, things would have been much easier if he had taken his own life.
“If so, could your Highness tell Gong Gong to end his life instead of me? “If you will, I am willing to let you go right away.”
“Don’t say things you don’t mean.”
“Not even in your mind?”
“Even though I treated you as a courtesy, you came out like this. Do you think I would believe that it was the king who saw those words?”
“Ahhh. “I guess that’s true.”
“Such words would never be spoken from the mouth of this king. Rather, this king has only one command to give to Duke Ho.”
“yes?”
“Ho public. “Don’t worry about the safety of your luggage. Break the window right away and go out to report the enemy attack.”
Hearing these words, Mok Kyung-un raised one eyebrow.
Then King Gyeongchin raised the corner of his mouth and said, even though he was in pain.
“I don’t know if you can kill me here, but you won’t be able to leave the imperial palace alive.”
“You look like you’re having fun.”
“Does this situation seem like fun? “Would you be able to stop this if Nam Jin Musa, the head of the Jinui Committee, came?”
‘Namjin warrior?’
Hearing these words from King Gyeongchin, Mokgyeongun’s eyes narrowed.
This was because I had heard in advance that one of the three people to be most careful of in the imperial palace was Namjin Musa, who was said to be the pinnacle of the Jinuiwiwi.
He was not simply the pinnacle of the Jinwiwi.
Namjin warrior Guseong Baek.
His other title for protecting the emperor was King of Beipado (北派刀王), the pinnacle of the current martial arts world and a member of the Six Heavens.
There are many famous anecdotes about him, one of which is that he split three large ships led by the Yangtze River Waterway in one day on the Yangtze River.

Thanks to that incredible battle, Namjin warrior Seong Gu Seong-baek was newly elevated to the pinnacle of martial arts, originally called Ocheon (五天).
‘One of Six Thousand.’
However, because he is the best expert in the imperial palace, he never leaves the emperor’s side.
Therefore, some in the martial arts world call him Jamryong (潛龍) or Myeongdo, who is locked in a sword house.
However, the situation is different within the imperial palace.
“If the royal palace masters, including the Namjin warriors, arrive, do you think that no matter how great a master you are, you will be able to harm the king and easily escape?”
The reason why King Gyeongchin said this to Mok Gyeong-un was simple.
It was to let them know that if they were willing to risk their lives, they could take revenge right away.
“……okay.”
King Gyeongchin seemed to think that Mokgyeongun had understood the situation to some extent, and spoke in a somewhat softer tone.
“So, how about we give one step to the other?”
“concession?”
“I see. This king will not force you to come under his control. But you too, stop trying to kill me and go back. In that case, I will put this matter on the line and put my king’s honor on the line.”
This was the best book that King Gyeongchin could come up with.
It was an attempt to make them give up on their own by letting them know that the situation was harmful to both sides.
Hearing his words, Mok Kyung-un smiled and said.
“The current number is much better than what was said earlier.”
“……Then will you accept Jim’s offer? “He doesn’t know your identity anyway, so you won’t lose anything if he leaves here.”
“I guess so.”
“If you do, please let go of your luggage.”
Mok Kyung-un stroked his chin as if he was thinking about these words.
King Gyeongchin was confident that unless he was truly prepared to risk his life, he would accept his proposal this time.
At that time, Mok Kyung-un opened his mouth.
“I thought about it, but I don’t think it’s necessary.”
“You really are!”
“No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think the public over there can let you die.”
“under!”
King Gyeongchin clicked his tongue and said as if it was absurd.
“When I give an order, the public will follow it unconditionally. “I think you look down on Jim and Ho Gong too much.”
“I’m not looking down on you. “As far as I know, the imperial palace has strict laws and regulations.”
“What do you want to say?”
“If His Majesty dies, won’t those who protect him also be held responsible?”
“……..”
“That too as death.”
King Gyeongchin was immediately speechless at these words.
This was an undeniable fact.
If he is assassinated by someone, according to the rules of the imperial palace, all the royal guards and eunuchs who guarded him will also be held responsible and all will die.
King Gyeongchin clicked his tongue inwardly.
Since it was an enemy that threatened their lives, they suggested a way to find a way out for each other in the least intrusive way possible.
However, this clever guy immediately found an elusive loophole in his moves.
In the end, King Gyeongchin had no choice but to gamble.
“…….public. “Are you willing to sacrifice your life for me?”
With these words, King Gyeongchin looked intently at Taegam Ho Gong.
Jin Yi didn’t really mean to ask for sacrifice.
‘You just need to show that you are willing to sacrifice your life.’
Only then will this person be able to accept his offer.
Ho Gong’s eyes were trembling slightly.
No matter how much he swore loyalty as a subject, he seemed hesitant even when asked to gamble because his life depended on it.
However, he must have realized the true meaning in King Gyeongchin’s eyes and tried to answer with determination.
“My convictions…..”
But just then Mok Kyung-un spoke.
“Ahhh. “Since Your Majesty comes out so strongly, I guess I have to make some concessions.”
“concession?”
“yes. Then, order Ho Gong to abolish his Danjeon. Then, I will save your life and the lives of the public.”
“What?”
When he heard the words to abolish Dantian, a spark flew out of Ho Gong’s eyes.
For a warrior, abandoning the Danjeon was not much different from giving up one’s life.
Because his life as a warrior was coming to an end.
Even though he had not learned martial arts, he was not ignorant of it, so King Gyeongchin also could not hold back his anger and raised his voice.
“Ho Gong-gong is like Jim’s right-hand man. Destroying the dantian of such a person would be like cutting off his right arm. Do you think I would fall for such a trick?”
“That is not your job.”
“what?”
“It depends on the public’s choice. Let’s count to five now. “If you do not abolish your own Danjeon, I will kill you.”
“Inooooom!”
Ho Gong-gong could not stand it anymore and insisted.
I wanted to kill Mok Kyung-un right away.
However, if he does so, King Gyeongchin will probably die at the hands of that person.
Then Mok Gyeong-un chuckled and said.
“It’s not like I’m going to kill you, but if you can’t even tell me to give up martial arts to save His Highness, then I don’t really have any loyalty.”
“what! “You are now…”
“Then why are you hesitating? They say they will save your Highness and you, but is that really that difficult? “Is martial arts more important than Your Highness?”
“……..”
“iced coffee. okay. Of course, if your life is important to you, martial arts are also important. “In the end, once you peel back the layers, a person’s self is what matters.”
“Yes, you…”
King Gyeongchin’s complexion darkened under the pressure of Mok Gyeong-un, who was pushing Ho Gong in this way.
This man was extremely skilled at pushing his opponents to the psychological limit to the point of taking their breath away.
You could tell just by looking at Ho Gong’s shaking appearance.
If I continued like this, it seemed like I would really get over it.
“Ho gong….”
-closely!
“Kek.”
At that time, Mok Gyeong-un grabbed King Gyeongchin’s neck.
King Gyeongchin, whose throat was clogged, turned red and sneezed.
“you!”
“one!”
I was about to say something, but Mok Kyung-woon counted the numbers.
The moment he heard one, Ho Gong’s expression hardened and he couldn’t do this or that and didn’t know what to do.
Is this guy really trying to kill Your Highness?
No, it might have been natural since he first appeared wearing something that looked like a tiger-like bast mask.
“two!”
Ho Gong bit his lip.
He had only two options.
As that bastard said, he could either close down his own guard, or, as His Majesty ordered, he would break through the door and announce the enemy attack and ask for help.
However, if the latter happens, His Majesty the Emperor will naturally be held responsible.
In that case, the death penalty was unconditionally decided.
-Wow!
No matter what you chose, it was the worst situation for you.
At that time, King Gyeongchin, who was held by the neck, was seen gesturing something towards him.
that,
‘ah……..’
He was pointing at the boat with his hand.
What he meant was that he should abolish his Danjeon.
Ho Gong-gong’s eyes softened when he saw this.
In the end, when his life was in danger, King Gyeongchin chose his own safety over comfort.
“three!”
As soon as the three words came out of Mo Kyung-un’s mouth, Ho Gong’s hand holding the soft sword gained strength.
In a split second, numerous worries passed through Hu Gong’s mind.
So in the end he made his choice.
That’s right,
-Park!
Ho Gong threw a kite sword loaded with strong energy towards Mo Gyeong-un and immediately flew a new type, breaking the window and leaving.
‘public!’
At this sight, King Gyeongchin’s eyes widened with a feeling of betrayal.
In the end, didn’t he choose Danjeon rather than saving himself?
-Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tak!
Ho Gong, who broke through the window, bit his lip.
It was an inevitable choice for him.
There was a way to escape from the palace itself if it were necessary to ask about the royal palace’s laws or future responsibilities, but there was no answer if the Danjeon was abolished.
What if that guy changes his words and kills himself and His Majesty, whose Danjeon has become abolished?
Then the situation becomes even worse.
‘I apologize, Your Majesty. After all, didn’t Your Highness think of your own safety rather than mine?’
And even if he kept his promise and saved His Majesty’s life, he had no idea that King Gyeongchin would hire him again after Danjeon was abolished.
In that case, it would have been better to plan for the future.
However, Ho Gong, who tried to go out and shout, soon frowned.
‘what?’
The area around the palace was very quiet.
There are dozens of warriors from the Geumuiwi and Sisibu within the Bigyeong Palace alone.
But I couldn’t sense any sign of them.
What on earth is this?
Ho Gong thought there was something strange and thought he should get out of the palace because he thought the guy might be chasing him.
So, I’m trying to fly a new model out of the palace.
– Again! Again!
The sound of footsteps was heard from the main hall of the palace gate.
Ho Gong unconsciously looked there.
But then I saw a very beautiful woman wearing bright red-gold clothes walking there, holding something in one hand.
At that moment, Ho Gong’s expression hardened.
The moment I saw the woman’s face, I immediately recognized who it was.
‘Ho queen?’
